What fun! I'd love to win one of these books.

Congratulations! Your ornaments are beautiful. Enjoy your prizes!

I tackled the real thing...a gingerbread house...this year. These look cuter, easier and very festive! I think a cookie house village is in my 2013 Christmas future.

What fun it would be to make and wear these vintage style sweaters!

Great prizes for this holiday contest!

All the entries were fabulous, making it very difficult to choose. I finally made up my mind by imagining myself wearing one that I had thought would never be my style. So delicate and detailed, I knew I had to vote for that one.

Good luck to all entries!

I'd love to get into some creepy crafting with these books!

These are adorable! They look so special in that basket.

Love the Jester sock from the Big Book Of Socks. I'd love to win that book and make some!

Oh no...I'm just learning right now. Thank you for your interest!

What a beautiful book! I'd love to win.

This would be a fabulous way to learn sewing skills. I hope I win!

I've been looking forward to the return of this show so much! It's too early for me to develop favorites...their personalities and talents haven't really shown through yet. I loved the first challenge...as always, the abilities and ingenuity of these people is inspiring.

This is beautiful! Congratulations.

I am so looking forward to this season!

Who doesn't love adorable puppets! This book looks wonderful and I hope I win.

I'd love to win this book on geek crafting! Wow...what an addition to my craft book library. Can't wait until the drawing to see if the winner is ME! This is a real super prize.

I noticed this before, but didn't mark it. I'm so glad I was easily able to find it again because I'll be making it soon. Love all your ideas from buttons to large safety pins as closures!

Congratulations MaterialThing! Your jacket is beautiful.

Congratulations anttibear and briezzy4!

What a beautiful book. I hope it ends up on my bookshelf!

I like SEW Sew Everything Workshop by Diana Rupp. I learn the basics from this book, then play with my own variations.

Love this dress. Simply gorgeous the different ways you can wear it! I'm partial to the way you gathered it at the waist with the folds falling in one place...

This is a little beyond my capabilities right now, but I'm looking forward to everyone's entry!

What an emotional show that was! First the families appearing out of nowhere, then Mondo's revelation. I think the stress showed in everyone's, excluding Mondo's, final designs in a negative way

If Valerie's repetitive obsession with folded napkins was nearly as voguish as Leanne Marshall's (season 5) obsession with beige and turquoise in her final collection was, she may not have gone home last night. Unfortunately, that's all it was...repetitive. Goodbye to a nice girl who, it seems, is short on style.

Mondo was the clear winner in more ways than one.

Love it all, the dress especially.

What a great tutorial! Love the bag...

Mondo's design was probably the best choice for winner this week. I loved his second 'wearable' look. I'm glad to see whiny Ivy go home as I've not thought any one of her designs has had merit this season. I do believe what the others are saying...she is a great seamstress but falls far short of being even a mediocre designer. Even though the judges really liked it, Gretchen's design looked like something old ladies wear when they 'accidently' gain a hundred pounds! Valerie tries and tries and I'm glad to see she will have the opportunity to try once more.

Very cute! That baby in your Etsy listing is super cute in her's too.

I think of all the attempts at interpreting Jackie O's elegance in sportswear, Mondo did come the closest. Andy couldn't have been further with those voluminous cargo pants, but I don't think he deserved the bashing the judges gave him, especially the invitation to 'come here and look for yourself'. Ivy's look was elegant but there were too many 'loose ends' in the back for it to have the clean lines that Jackie always had. Is Christopher a one dress act? We saw that exact same dress earlier in the season...go back and review his designs if you don't remember it in black. I was interested in Michael's design until I realized he was leaving the gathers on the outside and it resembled something from Little House On The Prairie. Mondo was a class act in his get up too. Oh, to be a designer and have a license to be quirky!

I had no idea. I violated all the rules of stuffing toy dog bones, especially 1 through 3. With this advice, they should be looking better from now on! Thanks.

Besides being beautiful, this knitting clock also beautifully illustrates the concepts of patience and persistence.

It is all so delicate and very pretty!

This is so very pretty. I wonder if the buttons are decorative or if they are functional for easy on and off. I can see this on top of a pretty red coat.

These are very pretty and would really dress up a personal spa! They look super soft.

Very nice!

Congratulations. You will have so much fun with that book!

Congratulations to all of you. What a very special book you have won. Make great things!

I like these! When I saw what they were, I was thinking they might look a little 'folksy' for my taste, but the tree she chose makes a the difference. Those decorations are pretty spiffy and I'm going to have made a few collections by Christmas.

I've been to a few nice resorts in my lifetime and have never seen anything worn like April's design. I agree that it looks more like a baby doll nightie than resort wear. I wish April all the best. I am partial because she is from near where I live.

I wish the judges ageism was not so blatant. Casanova will be missed and so will his tasteful designs. I could so see myself in his outfit at a resort dining room following a fun day golfing or around the pool.

Ivy should have spent a little more time on the Piperlime accessory wall picking out a little jewelry to go with that plain outfit of hers.
